In Ohio, it's currently a felony to carry any firearm into any establishment licensed to serve alcohol for on-premises consumption. House Bill 45 to correct this passed the House of Representatives yesterday, May 11, and is being sent to the State Senate for action.

HB 45 would allow any concealed handgun licensee to be armed in any restaurant, bar or other establishment licensed to serve alcohol as long as the armed licensee is not consuming alcohol nor under the influence of alcohol or any drug of abuse.
